Description

In Washington, DC, the Trump administrations aggressive homeless encampment sweeps have forced individuals like Abdullah Ibrahim to hide in wooded areas along the Potomac River, setting up tents at night and dismantling them by dawn to avoid detection. Despite the White Houses claims of increased safety and cleanliness, homeless individuals report worsening health conditions and a lack of access to essential services. Street medicine teams and caseworkers struggle to track patients and clients, leading to increased emergency room visits, overdoses, and hospital stays. As winter approaches, advocates warn that the real crisis festers hidden, far from tourists view, with city budgets cutting single-adult housing slots and churches offering limited safe havens.
